The O. R. & N. Co. has under consideration a request from
Pendleton men for the running of a , demonstration train for
farmers through the eastern Oregon wheat belt, similar to the
excursion given by the railroad company for the Palouse farmers.
(The Palouse excursion is reported to have been a great success.
The demonstration train left Pullman Wednesday morninc
nd ended its trip Friday 'night. It carried a force of lecturers

from the Washington tate Agricultural college, who lectured to
the farmers gathered at every point where stops were made. The
purpose of the lectures was to convince the farmers that the prac
tice of permitting wheat lands to lie fallow every alternate year
is a wanton waste of productive lands, and that by diversifying
the crops these lands can be made -to yield enormous increase of
wealth annually, as well as being made more fertile by such diversi
fication.

Very much enjoyed by the patients.
Some time ago the Ministerial asso
ciation of this city demanded an in
crease In the compensation allowed for
Bunday aervices. This was $3. They
wanted $5, which was refused by the
tata board, In charge of that Institu
tion. SuDerlntendent Stelner has called for
volunteers and has had no trouble in
fetMna; them. It la hia plan to have
undav. chapel services, as long as he
can get ministers to come without pay,
as there ia at present no appropriation
tot that purpose. .
'It's harmless, it only makes you
aneeie."
This Is the description printed on
the label of the tiny bottlea of "ca
choo," tha sneeilng powder Invented
by aome unconscionable individual for
the amusement- of youngatera and the
discomfiture of all who' coma within
the circle of Influence.
"Cachoo" has attained a considerable
sale in tha Portland market, and has
already caused much annoyance in pub
Ilea places. Now Judge Oantenbeln
and the officers of the juvenile court
are after cachoo with a sharp atlck.
The proprietor of a.nlQltelodlan com
plained to the court last week that
aome one drove his audience away by
turning loose a quantity of the ob
noxious powder, and other complaints
have come, in concerning annoyance
to passengers on streetcara and to per
sons in other public places. Some one'
puff a pinch or two of cachoo into
the air and the fine particles at once
seek the nostrils of all within sniffing
distance.
Acting under instructions of Judge
Gantenbeln, Chief Probation Officer
Hadley traced the Bale of cachoo and
discovered that It was being sold at
the cigar store of A. Stipe, at the cor
ner of Twelfth and Washington streets.
This was the only place at which ha
waa abla to learn that the powder was
sold, but there may be many others.
The clerk in Stipe's plaoe was Inclined
to he indignant and refused to tell who
manufactures cachoo. . H said It was
not made In Portland. Hadley warned
againat the further sale of the powder
under penalty or prosecution in me
juvenile court.
The officers of the court are deter
mined to stamp out the cachoo nuisance
and those who sell or turn loose the
pestiferous sneeze-maker will have
trouble ahead of them.

A ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
l ua01111 quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed, by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-informed generally that the Calif ornia Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the nameof the ,
Company has ibecome a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUra AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish .to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact.that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour,
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to' great advantage, but
as in mkny ; instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the approval of physicians and the world-wide" acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of, the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California I Fig yrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been Jong and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs -and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative, principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to be the best of natural
lixatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more fully descriptive of , the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for bv the shorter name of Syrup of FijH-and to get its beneficial effects always

Salem, Or.. March 10. The political
raya are turning on the office of mas
ter fish warden. The present holder of
the position. H. O..Van Dusen, is slated
almost without doubt to lose his offi
cial bead because of alleged partiality
toward upper Columbia river fjsher-
men,
Van Dusen arrived in this city yea
terday and under the protection of I
consort of lower Columbia river fish
ermen, who are ready to use every ef-
lori 10 nave mm retained in his po
sition, went direct to the governor's of
fice to find out what was stirring;. Van
Dusen'a retinue consisted of Ed Rosen
berg, secretary of the Fishermen's
union of the Pacific H. M. Ldrntaen.
and I. J. Kern, all of Astoria,
One-Sided Bearing D soled.
If they thought they would over
whelm the irovernor and the remainder
of the board of fish commissioners Into
agreeing to retain Van Dusen they were
mistaken. The board, which consists of
Governor Chamberlain, Secretary of
State Benson, and State Treaaurer Steel.
refused to hear any arguments until
representatives of the upper river men
could be present. Consequently P. A.
Sufert and F. N. Warren were communi
cated with and agreed to couie here
today.
STo successor Yet Jgamea.
Regarding a successor for Van Dusen
for it is the- unanimous opinion of the
board that he ahould - go, no one has
been generally selected, though Charles
Babcock of Oregon City, Is the 'Strong
est candidate at the present time, he
practically being already Indorsed by
Treasurer Steel. This indorsement In
more than has been offered by either
Chamberlain or Benson, neither of
whom has as yet advanced a name.
It is the unanimous opinion of the
board that neither an upper or lower
river resident be selected.
Among; Those Considered.
The following names have been hand
ed in to the board with recommenda
tion for appointment: J. U. Campbell
of Oregon City, Herman A. Webster of
Oregon City, Charles Babcock of Ore
gon City. H. C. McAllister of Portland,
and W. A. Mack of Portland. Both
Governor Chamberlain and Secretary
Benson remain noncommltal, refusing to
express their stand, but Treasurer Steel
asserts he will uphold an Oregon City
candidate against all others, and as
Campbell has retired from the fight ,
In favor of Babcock. the latter has be-
come the strongest for the patronage
of Steel. Campbell desires if Babcock
1b not chosen, that he still be consid
ered an applicant.
Next to Babcock, H. C. McAllister
appears to be the strongest candidate,
standing well in. the opinion of Ben
son. The latter, however, has not de
cided upon anyone to succeed Van Dusen
and states that he will vote with the
remainder of the board. If possible, so
as to make the appointment a unani
mous one.

MUST REDUCE FORCE
(Special Dispatch to "Tbe Journal.)
Olympla. Wash.. March 10 A short
age of funds will handicap the rail

June. The last legislature provided
136. 000 for salaries of the three com
missioners and three specified employes

The valuation hearings and Investiga
tions have cost the commission much
more than expected and with other in
cidental work have reduced the contin
gent fund to 15.000 with IS months oi
he fiscal period unexpired. It Is ex
acted this 5,ooo wut be practically er
lausted with the 'completion of the val
uation Hearings and tne determination
of the reasonableness of rates about
June 1. Thereafter the commission's la
bora will necessarily be only what can
be accomplished by the commissioners
